Abstract: | The potassium uptake activity of the "flow-medium culture" ofa long-day duckweed, Lemna gibba G3, followed a circadian rhythmwhich persisted for more than 5 days under continuous light.The period of the rhythm was about 25 hr under 3000 lux at 26?Cand was slightly over-compensated against temperature, Q10 beinga little less than 1.0. The amplitude of the rhythm was dependenton light intensity, and there was no potassium uptake in thedark. Magnesium uptake was affected by the potassium movementand showed circadian rhythmicity with a small amplitude underconditions where the potassium uptake was already saturated.Calcium uptake did not show any obvious rhythm. In Contrastto L. gibba, a short-day duckweed L. perpusilla 6746 displayedcircadian rhythm of potassium uptake only in the dark and notin the light. This rhythm did not persist beyond the secondcycle.
